I have a flash file made up of 2 components really.....an image slider at the top and when i click on the images it loads a new set of images into a container below.
What i want to do is go further and when i click on one of the bottom images i want to replace all the bottom images with new ones in the same container
I am loading several images using a loop. My question is, would it be better to put the "contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE..." in the loop so it loads the complete handler each time it goes through the loop, or is it fine to put it outside of the loop at the end?
View 5 RepliesI am loading 5 images using "for loop" and I have created the listener and if the images completes the loading, the function is called. Now, I need is the name of the "image" which is loaded on each five images gets completed.
[Code]...
in the output it is throwing as "[object LoaderInfo]". Now i need is the name of the "Image", inside the thumbnail_load function, that means, which image loading is completed.
this is the error I am having:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter listener must be non-null.at flash.events::EventDispatcher/removeEventListener()

how can you switch the mouse event with keyboard event in the folowing example:
Code:
var qno=0;var rnd1; var rnd2;
tick.visible=false;cross.visible=false;
var right_answers=0;var wrong_answers=0;

i know that u have too define key up and down functions and in the beginnig give the keys we are using the false value, but how to make it that after i pess of a key you cant press in again unless you go to the next question that is the enable_disable in the following code. How would that function looked in case of keyboard event
I am trying to learn JavaScript and I am wondering whether JavaScript has a event listener just like ActionScript's ENTER_FRAME. Basically, I want this event listener to listen "all the time" not just wait for any particular instance (mouse click, keyboard event) of event.
View 3 RepliesI was wondering if there is such a thing as a mouse over listener.So that it would execute code when the mouse rolls over(and maybe also execute code when the mouse moves away again)

View 1 RepliesI have an event listener applied to an xml load and it currently traces out the values it grabs which is fine, but what I want it to do is return an array for me to use. I have the Array creation and return working from "LoadXML" (it returns the array) but I can't get this to work with an event listener.The event listener runs the "LoadXML" function fine, but I have no idea how to take the returned array for use, this is an example of how my event listener works right now:xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML());and my assumption of how I would take the array (this doesn't work):var rArray:Array = xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML());so instead I tried the following:
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function():Array{
var rData:Array = LoadXML(datahere);
return rData;

way to trigger a functiont when a movieclip animation finishes? I figure an eventlistener could handle this, but not sure the best way to go about it.
View 7 Repliesit loads an external .swf file and is supposed to play it. I've added an event listener to run when the file is loaded. The function it calls moves the video to the bottom most layer so the buttons still show and then plays the file. The problem is the event listener never triggers.

I have a method which registers an event listener to each of the MovieClips in an array I have. The method is inside a class, and so is the listener function. The problem is, I'm getting an error that's says "Access of undefined property handleNavToggle", even though is declared.

I am working on a little video gallery sort of app. The list of videos to be played is in html. my player is in flash. I need to have my flash player receive the video url and then play it. I can pass vars to flash no prob using swfobject or params. but I need a event listener for to be triggered when a new var is passed.
View 2 Repliesif I have an event listerner (mouse, keyboard, enterframe,....event) that is being triggered, and when it finishes its event, something that is able to detect the finished event listener and fire out another sets of event.
It works more like MOTION_FINISH in TweenEvent, but it is only available for TweenEvent only, what if I want to detect a mousclick, keyboard, enterframe or even touch event?
My stage has about 25 buttons on it. Each button when pressed to tweens the background to some random x/y coordinates and then loads an external swf file.This is all working, but the timing is off. How can I wait for the initial background tween to end before I make the loader call to the .swf file.Currently each button's behavior is called on the MouseEvent.CLICK event which calls a function that knows its unique filename.swf. I know you can add the MOTION_FINISH even to the tween event but then I would have to call a new function and lose track of the button that initially called it.
View 3 RepliesI'm moving on to my next massive programming project and I'm trying to decide whether I should code it in as 2.0 or 3.0. I came across the new click event model in 3.0. Right now it's looking like a pain in the butt to me. So now I have to make a function and add it as an event listener? what the hell? What's the benefit? I understand stuff like this makes AS a more complete language but it's kinda annoying.
View 1 RepliesI need an event listener which is global so when every content is loaded a function fires up and function places this content. I've tried
stage.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,function(evt:Event){placeem(evt, "stgW","stgH")});
but that's not right, gives me errors

I'm thinking of making a movieclip which stops itself at certain points (just with stop(); at certain keyframes in the movieclip timeline), then the user is prompted to continue the clip.
What is the best why to listen for the stopping of the movieclip? I think I want an event listener that detects when the movieclip is stopped, but I don't know if there is one.
Is there some way to call a function when the flash window is closing down?I use ActionScript3 in Flash CS3. I need to delete cookies from SharedObject after closing window.
View 9 RepliesSay I have the following function
Code:
function myVideoFunction(event:VideoEvent):void {
do some stuff....
}
but i want to call it from the event listener
Code: button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,myVideoFunction);
I cant because it runs off a VideoEvent, not a MouseEvent.The obvious work around is to copy and paste the function and rename this part, or alternativly just make a function such as:
Code:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,callMyVideoFunction);
function callMyVideoFunction (event:MouseEvent) {
myVideoFunction(null);[code].....
Code:
trace("Hello!");
I'm up late coding and I've come to a halt here's why:
I'm looking (desperately) for something that will explain why my "public class marquePage" is not working properly. I don't have access to the actual file right now - on a friend's computer - but i'll try and make this clear, here it goes :
Code:
// example : (having declared the namespaces at package level and embedded the pictures in separate classes "photosMP", etc)
public var ceNom:Namespace;
public var cetteListe:Array = [photos, dessins, livres, maous];
[Code].....
Somehow, the event listener doesn't want to know about namespaces... in fact, everything comes up ok except that when you click on any of the bookmarks (cetMP), nothing happens at all
This is a very basic question but I can't seem to find an answer. I have a mouse over event and have created the buttons with the mouse overs which is working great. I created the actionscript to go to a specific web page when a user clicks the button. Now, I need to add a label to the mouse over so when someone mouse's over any area of the button, it will show them a particular name for the button.
I am sure that this can be done using actionscript in a mouse event roll over command but I can't figure out what I need to show the text. Here is where I am:
[Code]..
how can i access event.target outside event listener method.say for example
my_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onC);
function onC(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var m:MovieClip = e.target as MovieClip;
}
trace(m.totalframes);/// not working
now what if i want to get totalframe property of m instance, in short for every movieClip clicked.
I am doing this inside a module containing viewstacks and their childs.Calling onInit() on creationComplete of module.When I am inside one of the childs of a viewstack of this module and press Enter, it doesnt not invoke the listener function at all (bp inside this does not get hit).
private function onInit():void{
this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);
}[code]..........
This might be more of a subjective question, but is it generally best practice to have one dedicated method per event-types that you add an event-listener?
Such as:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver);
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut);
//Somewhere else in the code...
[Code].....
And if you had a MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN and other relevant MouseEvents event-listeners to watch for, you could even set a switch statement to handle all the various MouseEvent types.
I have these buttons in a movie clip and I would like to have only one event listener for the parent, using event.target to point to the children. I have also tried event.currentTarget, and it didn't work.here is the code that works:
test01.abtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);
test01.bbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);
test01.cbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);[code]....
It is only targeting the movie clip, not the buttons inside the movie clip.
so i have an event listener a mouse click in a movie clip name "em_contact" i also have an event listener after an animation plays out on an object called contactbtn_mc, How do i tell Flash once em_contact is clicked dont listen for that event any more?
my code is below
em_contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gotocontactanimation);
function gotocontactanimation(EvntObj:MouseEvent):void {

I am writing a web application that will serve as a configuration for a random data generator that I have written in Java.The values that I set in this application will write to xml. The xml data is updated by a file called simulationParams.as and that file is added to each child in the "viewStack" so that when I change any of those values the simulationConfig file will be automatically updated.The problem is that when I press the randomizeBtn the proper events are fired and the listeners grab those events.My problem exists when I uncheck the randomize button.For some reason an event is triggered or the listener isnt listening so that when I uncheck randomizeBtn the values go back to their last position or value on the slider. Ex. if my initial value is 0 then press randomize the slider will go to 100. The config file updates and all is well.When I uncheck the randomizeBtn, the sliders value goes back 0 but the config file isnt update.The same thing happens when I press the useDefaultBtn for both selected/unselected, nothing gets updated.[code]
